Who, or what, is a 'person' according to the law? How did this
understanding of personhood come about? In the twenty-first
century, environmentalism, animal rights, artificial intelligence,
and corporate personhood have compelled us to consider these
questions once again. Legal personhood is a foundational concept of
Western legal thought and A Theory of Legal Personhood seeks to go
beyond contemporary debates, challenging our very understanding of
legal personhood itself. Drawing on extensive research,
scholarship, legislation, and court cases from around the globe,
this book offers readers - with or without previous knowledge - new
insights into legal personhood. It scrutinizes how personhood came
to be understood synonymously with the holding of legal rights. It
then posits that a better understanding of legal personhood is as a
cluster property. Finally, it applies this new theory to explain
and structure the numerous debates surrounding legal personhood.
